How to live as a wanderer

I'm not a rookie. I hit him on a horse, but I blocked him on his shield. Does it make sense for him to collapse?

Of course, it was an unfair story for the mercenaries who were beaten down. It must have been properly blocked, but the bones were crushed and shocked and dug down.

“Karamaf! Stop them! ”

“What? What Karamaf? ”

The mercenaries were baffled by the sudden name. Lord Karamaf named himself the Emperor's Great Warrior and then suddenly disappeared into the mouths of countless luxurious men. Someone whispered that the cunning emperor is secretly plotting another plot.

Why would a story like that come out here?

Soon I knew who the name meant.

Whoo-hoo!

“You damn wolf! ”

Karamaf sprints into the bushes next to him, and sprints out in front of the road to threaten the horses. With Karamaf's lively roar, the horses lift their front legs high and stop.

“Two at most! What are you doing? ”

Baron Einbeck shouts and the mercenaries frown. He was annoyed by this nobleman who kept talking nonsense while not fighting.

When I was full and safe, I kept my mouth shut because of the power behind the Baron, but even a noble grandfather is meaningless if I'm wrong.

But the baron's power was still valid. As soon as we get out of here, the Empire will give us a solid line of money.

“Definitely two. Maybe it's better to catch them. ”

“Nimmy... If I'd known this was gonna happen, I would've grabbed you. ”

The mercenaries groan and prepare for battle. I was reluctant to fight a knight on a horse. They were veterans on the battlefield for over a decade, but fighting knights was a little...

“How dare you maggots! ”

The Velemen Elf Knights were furious at the fact that mercenaries didn't flee. The Trolls' humiliation exploded in my lifetime.

Puck!

The exploded life-forms have been sparked to the extreme with refined martial arts. The elf knight thrust his horse forward one step, stabbing and drinking through the opposing team's armor. At the same time, he pulls out the long sword and blows away the helmet next to him. I was struck on top of my helmet, but I wasn't kidding about the way the blood spurts like fountains.

“Come at me again, maggots! ”

The Elven Knight shouts ferociously, and once more he swings his spear and blows the mercenary away. The knights who run and run against the Trolls are like slaughterers among mercenaries. John was amazed at his appearance.

‘Clearly, the knights are a little crazy, but they fight well. ’

John helped right away. The mercenary who insulted his colleague because he couldn't even shield himself just now realized why his colleagues had collapsed.

When I hit the mace with a light swing on the horse, my body collapsed along with the sound of 'swooping’.

“Karamaf! He must not eat! ”

Grrr!

Karamaf was crushing the baron Einben one day. What was Baron Eiben talking about?

“I am the baron of Einben, a noble of the empire! I demand mercy!”

“Why are you making fun of those who dishonorably turned mercenaries into bandits! ”

It was customary for nobles to demand ransom from each other, but it was also customary. There was nothing like that when I was angry.

Moreover, it was not an official fight, but an imperial noble secretly hired mercenaries to steal from them. No wonder the Elven Knight was angry and tried to kill him.

Tak

John dried the Elven Knight.

“Sir...! ”

“We must defend our honor. ”

‘And ransom. ’

Even if Baron Einburn did something with the Trolls, that was it and the ransom was on the house. John had no intention of wasting any money.

The elf knight gives you a good look.

“You're right, Ser. I'm learning from you again. Honor is a knight's virtue. ”

“Ugh... water... water...”

One of the fallen mercenaries mutters, breathing heavily. Then the Elven Knight answered with a spear.

Puck!

The staggering mercenary breathes his last.

“I almost forgot the virtue of knights is honor. I think it must be God's guidance that I met such a noble knight in this trivial merchant city. ”

“I... see. ”

Suetlq sighs. I guess I won somehow. As Suetlq whines, Gordon raises his head next to him and asks.

“Oh, Wizard. Are you okay?”

“Do I look all right? Ugh...”

You've handled too many secrets, so your body reacts. It is not uncommon to deal with nature's secrets as mortal bodies. Suddenly, Suetlq groans and grabs the staff.

“You were amazing. I had never known magic to be so powerful. ”

“I see the knights are charging in. Do you have any masters? ”

“Yes.”

“Looks like you got the Trolls in one piece. Whew.”

Suetlq looks proud. I can't believe he poisoned the Trolls. This is also the guidance of providence.

The battlefield is well organized.

The victorious punitive force slaughters the fleeing enemies and catches the fleeing ones when they can spare some time. Some mercenaries sought permission and sent fast footmen to make a fortune. Everything from equipment to slavery will be their property.

“Wizard, you have done well. If it wasn't for the Wizard, this sweep would have been really difficult! ”

“If you have time to praise me, praise the knights. ”

Suetlq has bruised the White Guard commander. When the knights who fought the Trolls came back and heard the Wizard's praise, they couldn't figure out what to do with the twisted judgments.

In fact, I had a high chance of feeling twisted already. You didn't give us the support we needed to catch the Trolls.

“Wise man, a friend of mine saved my life. I felt today that the name of the sage of the Ipael River is not anonymous. ”

“Thank you, Mr. Suetlg! I will tell Earl Bartok. ”

“??? ”

However, the returned knights reacted strangely.

He did not say, "If you do not send support to fight the Trolls, do you want to die?" He did not say, "Since our ball is the biggest, we will choose what we want from the loot. If you do not want to take it away, do not want to fly off your neck."

Gratitude!

He was frightened when he didn't remember seeing the knights in his lifetime thanking him.

"Did the Trolls beat you to death? ’

“If it wasn't for the water of life that the wise man gave me...”

“...... ”

Suetlq was spotless.

The moment I heard that, I realized what had happened.

Even if I fed it to a pig on the street, it would have been worse than this!

The white commander who heard John and the knights' report blinked. Suetlq, who was next to him, also looks embarrassed.

“What did you catch a Troll with? ”

“Oh, no. Wizard, that's not the point right now. I thought you said Baron Einbeck bought it. We need to get back to the city and make a report. ”

“Oh. Right... So what did you catch the Trolls with?" ”

Even the White Captain was really curious about how he caught the Trolls, but he was ahead of his responsibilities as commander. He took great pains to clear up the situation with Baron Einbeck.

You should see the Praetor and report immediately.

“The emperor must be in dire need. ”

“How would Marcel react? ”

“I don't know. There's an emperor in town, and there's an anti-emperor in town, and he's up to his neck in tricks like this... so the friendly emperors have to keep their mouths shut. The veterans will decide, but if it's mild, it's exile, and if it's not mild, it's more severe. ”

Suetlq said with a finger on his neck. The people on the Emperor's side are in the city, but they should hope not to hang in this situation.

“You tore the Trolls apart? ”

Suttleg wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't listened directly to the Elven Knights or the people of the convent.

When the Elven Knights were so excited that they kept saying, ’Sir John has snatched the Trolls and slit their throats. Baron Einbeck bought them for me, but it doesn't really matter how he tore them...', it seemed that John really showed a great dance.

The knights were simple. They did not look down on those who were lower than themselves, but were generous to someone of their own class. A better knight than you, by the way.

John must have overwhelmed the knights with his skills.

“Yes, somehow. ”

‘... I don't know what to say. Who in the world fights with Trolls? ’

“... That's great. Rumor has it that a Troll Killer killed a Troll with one sword. Yeah. There's nothing good about having your arms out of your head in a bard's song... Anyway, you'd better watch your back for a while. ”

“? ”

“If you suddenly gain a reputation, you'll always be followed by annoying things. Well, you don't have to worry about that already. Enjoy the rest of your life for now. This won't just end in the city. ”

Marcel was sure to raise more punitive forces and dismantle the emperor, as these bandits were found to be the victims of the emperor.

And it was always a knight who deserved this splendid praise.

“The Elves will love it. ”

“... Oh, dear. Turns out you fed him the water I gave you. Why do you use other water if you don't use water to use it? ”

“Ah. How can I not live with the Wizard?" I heard you have a face with Earl Bartok. ”

“Thank you so much. ”

Suetlq was indisputable to John's words. It was a good thing you saved Earl Bartok's knights. Considering the face of the Earl, this will be a worthy reward.

But that's that, and not to mention the unlucky elf knights.

“Could you fill up the water for me, since I wrote it for a good cause? ”

“... I'll think about it. ”

It was an ancient tradition to treat those who had won the war and returned.

Although not as glamorous as the Imperial Refinement, the punitive force's refurbishment scheme was enough to focus on the attention of the city's people. It was about halfway through the festival.

“Praise the noble knights! These are the Knights with the biggest balls in the subjugation! ”

Knights stand at the front, and mercenaries taken captive this time. Citizens provoked and tossed stones and rotten goods at the mercenaries.

All over the place, provokers shouted about their knights' accomplishments and why this group of bandits looted the city.

It was to promote hatred for the emperor at the same time as raising the knights.

Although the emperor's insult was also an insult, people were amazed at John's name for the first time. There was nothing fresher and more interesting than the act of the first knight I heard.

“Cutting a Troll's head off by yourself, does that make sense? ”

“What are you talking about... a knight. Of course we're not capable of anything. ”

“Even a knight, to take down a troll by himself...”

“That's a lot of suspicion. Those knights over there must have helped. It's great that you caught it anyway. Cancer.”

“It's the same thing. ”

The way the dark man and the cunning man accepted the water was different, but they all agreed on one thing.

Whatever help you got, whatever you got, it was a great job catching Trolls!

The nickname ‘Troll Murderer’ was already on the loose among the people. After today, when John is spoken of, the name Marcel's Troll Killer will follow.
